Our room a small double was... Small. This wouldn't have been a problem but there was a huge double wardrobe in the room, and some pointless shelves. There had been an attempt to update the room by painting furniture grey but those sapele doors and chipped plastic fake wood windowsills were a reminder of my childhood home from the 70's, a proper blast from the past.
The bed was clean and comfortable, with a tiny TV with free view. Bathroom was big with a wonderful shower and lovely hot water. Free Internet was good and there was plenty of parking.
We had breakfast which was £10pp and it was nice. There was a selection of cereal, orange juice and apple juice to help yourself but, hot drinks and toast were ordered with a waitress along with the main breakfast which was hot and delicious. Breakfast staff were really friendly and smiley.
There are tea and coffee making facilities in the room but be careful as our milk seemed to be off
As we travel frequently I always leave an extension lead in the case, used it this time as there was no plug near a mirror.
All in all an enjoyable few days, you can tell the hotel is well loved and looked after, with a few little tweaks this hotel could be excellent.
Our room was comfortable and give us a stunning view out over Saundersfoot beach and harbour. Both the breakfast and evening meals were excellent. I can thoroughly recommend the veggie sausage for breakfast and the Beef and ale pie from the evening menu. We were made to feel very welcome, all the staff waiting/bar and reception were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely go there again, very well priced and good value for money. I felt very safe as staff were continually cleaning surfaces both inside and out.


Our rooms were very nice and not what I would’ve expected from a 2 star AA hotel. We had a sea view room (highly recommended) and it was very spacious with ample wardrobe space. The en-suite bathroom was very clean with a powerful ‘Mira’ shower. Not the usual trickle of water I have seen in higher rated hotels. The bed is amazingly comfortable and I slept very well. Tea and coffee facilities were of a good standard (I’m particular about my tea) and we even had a proper sized kettle.
The staff at the hotel are lovely people and it had a very family run feel. They were very welcoming and helpful. They didn’t interfere or talk too much. 🤣
A couple of issues with the beer on tap, but this is totally understandable due to only recently reopening after the coronavirus lockdown. There was a lovely function room and restaurant overlooking the sea. I’m looking forward to returning when things are back to normal and have a meal.
It really feels like a 4 star hotel. I think the fact that there’s no air conditioning (room too hot for me, but I’m always too warm)or no telephone in the rooms Is maybe what’s letting them down. That said, with the British climate, and mobile phones it’s really unnecessary anyway.
This hotel is up there with some of the best I’ve stayed in. Can’t wait to return. It’s a must visit.
Starting at the reception with Russell,what a real helpful person and a gentleman,made us feel as though be had known us for years.
The owner Pauline is lovely and welcoming and does a marvellous job on organising these weekends, they are brilliant and cant wait to go back.Our room was very nice,clean and on the ground floor convenient for my wife which i asked for because
she has mobility issues.The hotel is about 5 to 7mins walk into Saundersfoot but steep on way back, there that's the one negative out of the way.It has a lovely view over Saundersfoot beach and a lovely small outside pool right outside the hotel bar and dance room.
Enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the morning but didnt have an evening meal as we had booked to go out with friends. As i said Pauline is so welcoming from day one that you feel you've been going there for years.
Such a brilliant experience, the best part about it as well if you are going to the music weekends and Pauline is fully booked her sister and brother in law Jan and Chris own the hotel next door and can accommodate you there.Thats a lovely experience as well as they are also lovely people.
Honestly once you've been there you feel part of the family.
Love to you Pauline and Russell and the boys behind the bar ,Bev and Rob❤❤
Secondly, the bloke upstairs clearly has a snoring issue and the walls must be made of paper, kept me up most of the night & myself and my partner still can’t sleep now.
Extremely dated hotel, surprised it has a 2 star status. I’ve had better stays in a tent…. Make sure you pack ear plugs IF your stupid enough to stay
The room was quite big and had everything you needed.
The breakfast was amazing and you couldn’t fault the portion sizes.
We only ate in the hotel once the menu was simple and the food was very tasty.
All the staff at this hotel were very friendly and were keen to make sure your stay was a pleasant one - which it was.
The hotel could do with a little updating but for the price paid and that sea view it was value for money and we were pleased we chose it.
The owner Pauline and her family are excellent hosts. And very helpful. Plenty of parking on site. The bus stop is accross the road going into Tenby and is only a ten minute ride. We will return.
A thoroughly enjoyable stay, and the only negative thing was that we only had a 5 day stay and would have liked to have stayed a lot longer!
